Sec62 Activators refer to a class of chemicals that can influence the activity or expression of the Sec62 protein, a component involved in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) associated protein degradation (ERAD) pathway and ER protein import. Some of these activators exert their effects by perturbing the ER environment or influencing associated cellular pathways, indirectly impacting Sec62.
Dithiothreitol (DTT) serves as a reducing agent that disrupts disulfide bonds, causing protein misfolding within the ER. 4-Phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) functions as a chemical chaperone that alleviates ER stress, while Guanabenz enhances the ER stress response. Ionomycin increases intracellular calcium concentrations, affecting ER stress levels. Geldanamycin acts as an Hsp90 inhibitor, influencing proteins associated with Sec62, while Celastrol induces the heat shock response, affecting ER protein homeostasis. Finally, Chloroquine alters endosomal pH, influencing protein trafficking and impacting Sec62 activity.
